Ashley joins Jen to share all about what's happening with Making. We go pretty deep, get very real, and share honestly. A lot has happened this year...but also not (tbh), and we'll talk allllll about it. BUT MOST EXCITING: we will dive into what's next! 🥳Â
If you are a designer, sell finished goods, make supplies for makers to create, or just love being a part of a beautifully diverse community in an app that wants to prove that you can build a business based on the idea of people over profit, you won't want to miss it!
Making is the first multicraftual social marketplace app built for makers, crafters, and artists! Grow your creative community, get inspired, track your projects, and more. While the Making Marketplace currently offers designers the ability to sell their PDF patterns and services, we're soon expanding! In just a few weeks, brands will have the capability to sell supplies and finished products on our platform. Experience a space that promotes discovery, diversity, equity, shared values, and new opportunities for all creatives. Join the community by downloading the app at themakingapp.com!
